Good protection with one deal breaking flaw

I love Zagg and their products. I have bought their screen protectors for every phone I've had for many years and they've all been great. However this one is definitely the exception. The phone has a curved display and like has happened to numerous other reviewers the top corners of this screen protector started to come up immediately when I put my case on and there is no putting them back down. If this is all you plan on using to protect your phone then go with this because it also protects the back too. However with an all glass phone I highly recommend something other than just this to protect it. I returned this and went with a tempered glass model.

Designed specifically for iPad Pro 12.9" (1st Gen), the Silicone Case protects the back of your device and is designed to pair seamlessly with the Smart Cover for full front-and-back coverage. The smooth silicone material feels great in your hand and protects your iPad Pro while maintaining its sleek, beautiful design. Available in two colors, charcoal gray and white.

This case is awesome but pricey like everything else from Apple. I have it with the smart cover on my iPad mini and now my iPad Pro. It fits the iPad like a glove. It has a soft interior so it won't scratch the iPad and has a hard shell so it's not just soft silicone and will provide some protection. I love the grippy feel it provides. After months of use it cleans up wonderfully and shows no signs of wear even the one on my mini which is light blue. It protects fine against bumps and scratches but a fall onto a hard surface I have my doubts. If you're hard on your gadgets you might want to consider something more protective. If you want a full case you need to pair this with the smart cover which is sold separately and protects the front. You can get them to match or get different colors. They are not cheap but I see it as kind of foolish to spend as much as an iPad Pro costs and not protect it.

I thought I was the only person on the planet that didn't use their cellphone as an alarm clock. I just don't trust it. Too many things can go wrong leading to me not being up when I need to be. I am a very sound sleeper. I go to bed late and work swing shifts. When I have to wake up at 5:00AM I need something LOUD because I am in a deep sleep at that time and could easily sleep right through a lot of alarms. This one I use on 30 and it's plenty loud. It can go up to 40. I love the lights and how it changes colors. You can dim them all the way down to where they shut off, however this dims the time too. It has two alarms so if you and your spouse/signifigant other have to be up at different times you can set both. You can wake up to music from basically any device you might have. Older devices that aren't bluetooth compatible you have to plug in with an auxiliary jack. It charges almost anything with a USB cord which is an awesome feature. The sound is decent but it's not as good as JBL, Beats or Bose. It's an alarm clock though so most people don't spend a lot of time listening to it. It was definitely not anywhere near bad enough to be a deal breaker. It has a sleep timer so if you want to fall asleep listening to music you can as well. All in all it was a good purchase and I recommend it.

The newly designed Smart Cover for iPad mini 4 is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front of your device. The Smart Cover automatically wakes your iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. It folds into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing, or making FaceTime calls. And it's easy to remove, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.

I really like this cover. It comes in many beautiful colors, it easily connects to your iPad with a magnet, and it folds down as a stand. It puts your iPad to sleep when you close it and wakes it up when you open it. It has a velvet covering on the inside so your screen isn't scratched. It is pricey for something that only protects the front of the iPad. That goes without saying with Apple though. This can be used alone but is made to be paired with the silicone case for the back which is another $59.99. You can buy them to match or mix and match colors. I got the stone color back and I think it would look nice with any color smart cover. I would recommend looking for a more protective case if you are hard on your gadgets though because I have my doubts about whether your screen would survive if your iPad was dropped on a hard surface in this.

Rock out with these Beats Beats Studio MH992AM/A headphones that feature adaptive noise cancelling to filter out ambient sound. Leatherette ear cushions and a flexible design ensure a comfortable fit.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I love these headphones. You truly go into your own little world when you have them on. I had the red Solo 2s that are awesome as well but I could never seem to keep them away from my 17 year old sister/Goddaughter. When the studios went on sale for $100.00 off on Black Friday I decided to give her those and buy myself an early Christmas and birthday present. I am very satisfied so far. They fit around the ear and are very light and comfortable even for long listening sessions where the solos and other on ear headphones would start to make my ears hurt. The sound quality is balanced and phenomenal, they can handle all types of music from hard rock and heavy metal to hip hop to classical. The bass is there, but it doesn't overpower the highs and mids. I'm not a fan of thumping bass and the unbalanced muddy sound was what kept me from buying earlier Beats models. Beats definitely got it right with this newest line. The battery life is excellent, I use them about an hour and a half to two hours a day at least 5 days a week and have to charge them about once a week. The noise cancelling feature is awesome. They make me oblivious to the world around me with the volume half way up on my iPod touch. This is a nice feature but of course use with caution and depending on your surroundings. The cord is detachable and can be purchased separately if it's ever lost or damaged. This is nice because you're only out $29.99 instead of $299.99 for all new headphones like with older models with an attached cord. The cord has a microphone attached for phone calls and they also come with a hard protective case. The cord and charger fit in the case with the headphones and they fold up easily for travel. They are pricey but for a music lover SO worth it. I highly recommend them.

Good Basic Android Tablet
on July 18, 2013
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
This is a nice, basic Android tablet. I have an iPad3 and had an iPad mini that my neice fell in love with so much I wound up giving to her. I wanted something small enough to be very portable that would fit in my purse easily for basic web browsing, to read books, play afew games, check emails and Facebook and Twitter without spending a fortune. I have an android phone so I wanted to give an android tablet a try. This tablet fit my needs perfectly. The screen resolution and response are basically the same as the iPad mini was. It runs very smooth and the speed on the internet is fine for the needs of most people. It easily loads a web page in afew seconds most of the time. The battery life is excellent. It can easily go all day with moderate to heavy use and still have 25% battery life left. It charges very quickly too. It only comes with 8 gigs of onboard memory but you can add up to a 64 gig memory card which is an option you don't have with Apple. The Android market is great and has thousands of books, TV shows, apps, movies, and many are at a much lower price than than the App Store for my iPad or even free. I do have to stay a little bit closer to my router for the same WiFi signal strength with this than with my iPad. It's important to understand you're not going to get a top of the line tablet for with an ultra high resolution screen and super fast processor for $199.99. A lot of people will complain when they don't. However this tablet works absolutely fine. It does what I bought it to do and serves its purpose well.

Perfect screen protector
on August 18, 2012
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I have the Zagg Invisible shield HD on my iPad 3 and my 4th Generation iPod touch and could not recommend it any more highly. It keeps your screen totally protected and free from scratches, dirt, oil, and fingerprints all without you knowing it's there. It's a must have especially if you have kids using your iPad. It looks and feels like glass and is very easy to clean. If it's installed correctly, it's crystal clear and will not take away from the amazing Retina display or affect the touchscreen on your apple device at all. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: IF it's installed correctly, and these things are a PAIN to install. I watched the guy at Best Buy put mine on my iPod and he had a very hard time with it. If you've never installed one before and aren't lucky enough to know someone who has and actually knows what they're doing, I HIGHLY recommend having Best Buy install it for you. For $14.99 you're guaranteed a perfect installation. Best Buy puts on a new shield re-does it at no additional charge to you until they get it right. It's not worth it to risk your $39.99 trying to install it yourself. I'm willing to bet most of the people who gave this product a negative review never got it on correctly. They've got all of mine on the first try though and I've never had a problem. It comes with a lifetime guarantee from Zagg so they replace it for free if anything happens. I will continue to purchase this screen protector for all my devices as long as it's available.
What's great about it: You don't even know it's there
What's not so great: The price and paying to have it installed

Set your n??vi on the dash of the car with the help of this portable media.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I got this mount to go with my Nuvi 255W. The windshield mount that it came with fell off twice in the month I've had it so I knew I needed something else. I got this AMAZING mount with a best buy giftcard online christmas day and it was half off. I used store pick up and got it the day after Christmas and I could not be more satisfied. It sits like it's super-glued to the dash, but the great thing is all you have to do is set it there. You don't have to use anything to attach it and there's nothing you have to leave in your car that would make your car a target to a thief. It also makes moving from one vehicle to another a breeze, so much better than messing with the suction cup. I love that it's so easy to remove the whole thing when I'm at home. When I'm out and have to leave my car unattended, the arm unlocks and slides off the base so I can stick the mount underneath my seat and the GPS in the console next to my seat. It takes all of 10 seconds to have everything completely out of sight. Which is important because who wants to broadcast to a thief that you have a GPS in your car?? The only bad thing that I could begin to say about it is it's kind of ugly, but when it works this good, that's EASILY forgotten about. I would buy it again for full price in a second.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Appearence, but it works so good you'll forget that it's ugly

Blast your favorite jams from your portable audio player through these stereo ear bud headphones.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I love theese headphones. I bought them to go with my new green iPod and they sound great. They are very comfortable, I can't even feel them in my ears and they never falll out. I love that they have colored cords now too. My first pair that I bought for my old MP3 player had a white cord, so they got better. I have the JVC marshmellow headphones and if I move a muscle they fall out of my ears. Theese sound just as good, stay in my ears, and were half the price.
What's great about it: Awesome green color matches my iPod, great sound quality, very comfortable, great price
What's not so great: None

The screen cover was "installed" by a Best Buy employee. When I purchased the item I was asked if I wanted an employee to install it for me. Little did I know that I was being charged for the installation as well. The installation of the screen cover was so bad I had to remove it. There were so many bubbles in it I had a hard time reading the screen. I removed it because I was afraid it would damage the screen itself. Not only did I lose money on the screen cover, but I lost money on the installation.

You should have taken it back
July 13, 2012
Best Buy guarantees the installation that you paid for so you should have left it on and returned it to the store. They would have replaced the screen protector and re-done the installation at no extra charge. Now that you've taken it off and they can't see that it was improperly installed, I doubt there is anything they can do, but Best Buy does have very good customer service so it wouldn't hurt to try as long as the store isn't to far away.

Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Used since iphone 3g
By Miggles
Ive used zagg screen protectors since the iphone 3g. Mainly I felt like writing this review because I disagree with a previous review giving it 1 star. This is by no means a simple screen protector to apply and I messed up my first one as well. best buy offers to apply it for you for $8 and if they misplace it theyll place another one free. I myself pass on that offer since I figured out how to apply them after the first attempt. The screen protector itself is worth it, and if you need to remove it for a phone repair, you can register the product on zaggs website and get a new one free by mailing in the old one. Dont listen to the 1 star review, he/she is just angry about a failed attempt.

I couldn't agree more!
May 13, 2013
I am a huge fan of this screen protector as well and will not use anything else as long as it's available. I have it on my Galaxy S3, iPad3, 5th Gen iPod touch, had it on my 4th Gen iPod and will have it on my Galaxy S4 as soon as it comes out for Verizon. It is pricey no doubt, but as long as it's installed correctly, you can hardly tell it's there. I had a guy at Verizon try to tell me I didn't have a screen protector on my phone and when I told him I did, he basically accused me of lying because he couldn't see it. . IF (and this is a big IF) it's installed correctly, that's how good it is. It's crystal clear and doesn't take away from your screen at all. It doesn't come up or get scratched and is very easy to wipe clean. I have yet to hear one bad review where the person gets it on correctly and doesn't like the actual product. I have seen how much of a pain they are to install and I would rather not have the hassel or risk my money so I just pay Best Buy to do it. If they mess up, you get another one for free. That did happen to me once to. Better their $25.00 than yours, especially if you've never done it before and don't know someone who has.

It's sexy looking and the retractable ear plugs are great but Bluetooth short distance even when you swing your arm as you walk it looses signal. Volume is very low and no control over it

Is the front display dimable?
Can you dim the time display to where it is barely visible? Our existing clock is too bright even after dimming.
Yes the time and the lights dim almost to the point where it can't be seen.

It's not as good as JBL, Beats or Bose but it's pretty good. A true audiophile might want to look for something else though.

Compatible with an ipod shuffle?
I would like a speaker/alarm clock that is compatible with an ipod shuffle. The ipod shuffle doesn't have bluetooth & the specs of this product say the USB port is for charging. Can you also use the USB port to connect to a music device instead of the bluetooth?
Yes I have an older ipod nano that doesn't have bluetooth that I do this with. You attach the shuffle to the back of the clock with an auxiliary cable through the headphone jack on the iPod. One comes with the clock, however it is very short. You can listen to your iPod shuffle, wake up or fall asleep to music.
